You're right, she didn't suggest that anyone should be allowed to starve, she flat-out said it. This soi disant "Christian" told hungry children to get a job or tough luck. Which is weird, because I could have sword Jesus wanted his followers to feed the hungry, not tell them to bugger off and get a job at McDonald's (which does NOT, by the way, give free food to their employees).

As for an "anti-business, socialist, radical environmentalist climate," I have no idea what world you're living in. It certainly isn't the real world. The situation we currently find the US in is because of the enthusiastically PRO-business, anti-community, anti-environment, anti-science, pro-ignorance policies of the last administration. While I can fault the Bush administration for a lot of ignorance, the fact is that the USA's ongoing political culture of pro-business, anti-community, and anti-environment policies has led to persistent poverty and third world conditions in places like Appalachia and rural Alabama and Georgia.

If you're seriously this upset because the government is stepping up to its responsibility to the hungry, if the only thing you get out of this is OMG HOW DARE ANYONE GET FREE STUFF then you have issues far and beyond being single.

Go shake the magic money tree and feel good about yourself,other than that you have no understanding of the situation and are not worth responding to

Compassion is a great thing, and we need more of it. Wanting to see children receive nourishment isn't just about feeling good about yourself by giving "free stuff". People who are starving are more likely to commit crimes. I'm not sure how it's expected that these children go and get jobs, when it is quite evident you don't even believe there are jobs available for adults. If you want to speak of reason, then use reason.

What reason have you used,certainly no economic reasoning,...here is your reasoning...it feels good to feel good about feeling good..so i will choose to feel good rather than give any consideration to what the real problem is.The country is bankrupt,but the credit card generation can't grasp that concept and won't until it all collapses on top of them.

How ironic! Your posts have consisted of nothing but emotional hysterics and a few illogical arguments. Your rants reveal an irrational dislike of the poor and an utterly inadequate knowledge of economics.

Feeding hungry schoolchildren hasn't and won't contribute in any way to our economic troubles. The associated cost probably consists of about 1 millionth of percentage of our GDP.

The reasons for our current economic situation are complicated and varied. They include terribly irresponsible lending practices by banks, irresponsible borrowing by the public, and govt. mismanagement.

Go study history Junior,you know,all that time before 1986 when you were born,every nation that has followed our path has wound up with lot's of hungry children.I see your public education has left you with poor reading comprehension skills,quote me where i said that feeding hungry children was what caused our economic troubles, if you can't...and you can't, then you have made what is known as a false accusation,but i know you're still excited over being able to grow facial hair and are perhaps recovering from your first beer so it's ok.

No it hasn't.

She suggested that it was a positive to allow children to go hungry, which is moronic... not to mention unhealthy.

Letting children go hungry is a ridiculous and ineffective way to teach this.

You must not watch or read much news because there has been incessant reporting regarding lost jobs.

,if you attended private school your mom and dad should get their money back

You are a rather sad man, and you have my pity. You are also apparently unable to read...I never claimed that you said that feeding hungry children was the cause of our financial problems. It was a simple declarative statement....got it?
